FAQs

Why does my VGS Control account log out frequently?

VGS Control accounts should time out after 24 hours. If you're losing access faster than that:

Check that your cookies and cache are not being automatically cleared

If the problem cannot be resolved, contact your VGS Control account representative

Is the VGS Control integration safe?

VGS Control creates a role with read-only access to the entire account. They store your credentials in the same vault that holds consumer card information for large financial institutions; the safety of that information is guaranteed.

When access is given for the integration it provides more visibility, resulting in more automation and monitoring. If access is denied for the integration, those pieces of evidence (for auditing purposes) are removed from the platform. The reduced visibility would not impact your ability to use VGS Control.

VGS Control lets you customize the policies in cloud platforms however you’d like–in the event you’re audited, if automation and monitoring is not built-in for some tech systems, it just means you may have to gather some evidence manually.
